An Evening of Napa Valley Winemaking Mastery—Hosted by Cherie Melka

Join us for an unforgettable members-only experience as we welcome Cherie Melka, co-proprietor and winemaker of Melka Estates, for a guided tasting spotlighting one of Napa Valley’s most acclaimed winemaking teams. Since the mid-1990s, Cherie and Philippe Melka have helped define modern luxury Napa wine through a philosophy rooted in terroir, precision blending, and craftsmanship—creating powerful, age-worthy wines celebrated by collectors around the world.

Cherie brings a rare perspective to the glass: not only as a winemaker, but as an industry leader deeply involved in the creative and strategic direction of the Melka portfolio. During this intimate tasting, she will walk members through the wines, the vineyards behind them, and the winemaking decisions that shape each final blend—offering a behind-the-scenes look into what makes elite Napa Valley wines so compelling.

Melka Estates is known for producing distinctive small-production wines under several labels, including Métisse, Mekerra, Majestique, and CJ—each crafted with site expression at the forefront and designed for both immediate enjoyment and cellar-worthy longevity.

Expect an evening that blends education, story, and sensory exploration—where every pour comes with insight, intent, and the unmistakable signature of what ultra-premium Napa Valley wine should be.
